Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 301: Steep Terrain

"Yes," Yidahao agreed happily and walked to the other side of the foot of the mountain.

It’s nice not to be blamed. It makes you feel refreshed.

This situation also happened to the two teams, the Left Wolf and the Left Snake.

This resulted in the forge in the Forgotten Land working overtime to make trap parts, and the remaining gold was cursed as a waste.

"It's only been a few days, and we've already used up all the 1,500 bamboo basket trap parts. What a waste." This was the complaint of the old patriarch.

You have to know that these trap parts have been accumulated over a long period of time, and now they have been used up after only a few days.

When Yifeng learned about the situation, he also cursed the spendthrift.

But even though he was a spendthrift, Yifeng was not allowed to open the warehouse. He had to divide the stored and newly-made trap parts into three parts and give them to Xiaocao to take to Yihuo and the others.

After the restlessness on the night of the 15th, there were no major disturbances for six consecutive days, which gave the villagers an illusion that the ghost disaster had passed.

But the growing cold wind made them feel chilly to the bone, reminding them all the time that the ghost calamity had not passed and the current tranquility was just the beginning of the coming storm.

Of course, they were not idle either. Under the leadership of the guards and hunting teams, they set up numerous simple traps near the village.

However, this tranquility was interrupted by Liu Weizi who hurriedly climbed to the top of the rock.

"Liangshan, Brother Yi, something has happened. It's a big thing."

"What happened?" The old patriarch suddenly jumped up from his chair, as if facing a great enemy.

"Yujiazhai has been surrounded by a large army of ghost beasts." Liu Weizi said shockingly.

"What?" the old patriarch exclaimed.

"How is the battle going? How strong is the ghost beast army?" Shang Liangshan asked calmly.

Liu Weizi organized his words and said, "After defeating the demon beasts, the ghost beast army surrounded Yujia Village without attacking it. They are gathering the ghost beasts in order to defeat them in one battle."

"The leader of the ghost army is a bear-shaped ghost. The leader is a level 7 ghost bear beast. There are no less than three level 6 small leaders, dozens of level 5 leaders, and at least three hundred level 4 leaders. The ghost army is tens of thousands."

"Hiss" the old patriarch couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

This is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

"With such a large army of ghost beasts, can Taoist Sun deal with it?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"No, for this reason, the elder gave Junior Brother Sun a seventh-grade monster talisman and a golden general talisman."

"The two spiritual objects bestowed by Taoist Xuanzhen should be able to protect Yujiazhai, right?" The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked with a lack of confidence.

"Brother Yi, things are not that simple. Once Yujiazhai can no longer hold on, I'm afraid the golden generals in my hands will be called over."

This is the reason, or purpose, why Liu Weizi was shouting so loudly.

The old patriarch was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked towards Shang Liangshan.

"It's okay. Our pressure is less than that of Yujiazhai. It's okay even without General Jin. We just need to keep an eye on Taoist Liu." Shang Liangshan said seriously.

"Haha, that's right, we have to keep an eye on this strong man, Taoist Liu." The old patriarch said in deep agreement.

"I have fallen into the trap. The elder's intention is to seek your opinion. If you agree, I will transfer the golden general in my hands to Yujiazhai to prevent any accidents." Liu Weizi told the truth.

"I agree." Shang Liangshan nodded and said, "The longer Yujiazhai holds out, the better it will be for us."

"Although this is a bit cruel, it is the truth. I hope Yujiazhai can survive this disaster." The old patriarch sighed.

“If we want to survive, it depends on the overall strength of Yujiazhai.” Liu Weizi said after taking a sip of tea.

"The overall strength of Yujiazhai is quite strong, and the terrain of the village is extremely steep. As long as we can contain the high-level ghost beasts and prevent them from rushing into the village, we should be able to hold it." The old patriarch murmured.

The two villages have a good relationship, and the old man has been to Yujiazhai before.

On the top of a steep mountain, a majestic village stands tall.

The wall of the village is tall and solid, made of stones and logs.

Each stone is carefully selected and polished, and tightly inlaid together, demonstrating the crystallization of human wisdom.

The city walls are covered with sharp arrow loops and sturdy watchtowers, which not only provide safe observation points for the military and civilians, but also serve as a strong fortress for them to resist foreign enemies.

At this moment, the village wall was filled with soldiers and civilians wearing leather armor. They held spears, bows and arrows, and shields in their hands. Their expressions were serious and determined, and their eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed closely on the army of ferocious monsters that were roaring endlessly at the foot of the mountain.

These ghost beasts have different shapes and hideous faces, and emit a disgusting stench, as if they were demons crawling out of hell.

They roared, waved their sharp claws, and stared at the two-legged beasts on the mountain road's defense line with greedy eyes, eager to attack the defense line and invade this once peaceful home.

However, facing such a powerful enemy, the soldiers and civilians on the wall were afraid but did not retreat.

Because they know very well that this is a battle to defend their homeland, and they must defend this land with their blood and lives.

So they straightened their chests, gripped their weapons tightly, and prepared to fight a desperate battle with the ghost beast.

At this critical moment, the elders in the village also stood up. They were wearing gray leather armor and standing on the wall of the mountain road, overlooking the roaring group of ghost beasts that were constantly gathering from the mountains and forests below. Their faces became more and more solemn.

This is the current situation of Yujiazhai.

The elder on the simple village wall on the first mountain road was Yu Ye, and next to him was Sun Weichen.

It has to be said that the mountain where Yujiazhai is located is much more majestic than the Forgotten Village, and much easier to defend and more difficult to attack.

Moreover, the defense line is much more complete than that of the Forgotten Town, and there are even three mountain road defense lines.

The terrain is even more precipitous, with peaks as high as four or five hundred meters, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Master Sun, as long as we can delay the high-level ghost beasts from attacking the defense line, the tens of thousands of men in our Yujiazhai will have the confidence to defend the village." Yu Ye retracted his gaze and said to Master Sun in a decisive tone.

Yujiazhai is a large village with a population of nearly 100,000.

"Although the surrounding terrain is steep, it is difficult to stop ghosts from climbing up. In this way, the defense line will definitely be stretched and it will be difficult to defend." Taoist Sun frowned.

"Master Sun, you don't know that except for the mountain path, we have set up many traps around it, which are enough to kill a large number of ghost beasts that dare to climb up."

"I see. That's easy then." Taoist Priest Sun suddenly realized and changed the subject, "Doesn't your village have a bed-machine crossbow like the Forgotten Village?"

"No, it was actually my wrong decision. I felt bad for not buying the Yuanling coins." Yu Ye said with some regret.

To be honest, it's not his fault. Who could have imagined that so many ghost beasts would suddenly appear out of nowhere and threaten the well-defended Yujiazhai with the potential to destroy Xiang.

Fortunately, Yujiazhai had a good girl who was helped by Taoist Sun from Xuanxu Sect, otherwise the situation would have been very dangerous.

Thinking of this, he asked Sun Weichen, "Master Sun, what is the situation in Forgotten Township and Manshi Village?"
